Abstract

This data set includes rainfall, runoff, and specific conductivity (EC) corrected for temperature from three steep (mean slope 30%) humid tropical catchments in central Panama. These catchments range in size from 6.1 to 42.6 ha, and consist of three different tropical land covers: MAT (mature tropical forest, 9.5 ha), SEC (young secondary tropical forest growing on previously grazed pastoral land, 6.2 ha) and PAS (actively grazed cattle pasture, 42.6 ha). Runoff, rainfall and EC data were collected during the 2017 wet season ranging from May to December. Runoff (10 min resolution) was measured using calibrated V-notch steel and/or concrete weirs equipped with pressure transducers corrected for barometric pressure. Rainfall (15 min resolution) was collected from tipping bucket precipitation gauges located within 1 km of the outlet of each catchment. EC was collected using in-situ data-loggers at the outlet of each catchment. The catchments which produced this data are part of the Agua Salud Project and are located within the Panama Canal Watershed. Details about the Agua Salud Project can be found at https://stri.si.edu/facility/agua-salud.

Data were originally used for two end member hydrograph separations of event water and baseflow in each catchment.
